Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga is reported by Reuters, as saying that “we are seeking a prudent response on the General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) from South Korea.
South Korea announced on Thursday it will not renew its bilateral military information-sharing pact with Japan, known as GSOMIA. This comes amid rife trade dispute between the South and Japan on the trade front.

The above headlines are shrugged-off by markets, as the main focal point remains the US-CHina trade and geopolitical concerns.
